The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Suaman, Mr. Vasco Obour, has led the Suaman District Assembly and key stakeholders to officially cut sod for the commencement of new development projects in six communities within the district.
The ceremony, held on 14th December 2025 at Suaboi, marked the beginning of a series of infrastructure projects aimed at improving health and education facilities in the area.
According to the DCE, the projects are expected to be completed within an eight-month period. The beneficiary communities include Sui-Aboi, where a new CHPS compound will be constructed, another CHPS compound at Suibo, a three-unit classroom block at Taylor Krom, a six-unit classroom block at Gyaketey, and a two-unit classroom block at Dadiaso.
Mr. Obour assured residents that all funds required for the projects are available, adding that the assembly is committed to prioritizing development across the district.
He urged the contractors to execute quality work and complete the projects within the stipulated time. He also called on community members to monitor the progress of the work and promptly report any shoddy work to the assembly for proper action.
Representing the District Health Directorate, Mr. Noah Nyamado commended the assembly for the initiative to construct CHPS compounds, noting that it would enhance healthcare delivery in the district. He, however, highlighted some challenges affecting health services, including poor road networks, inadequate telecommunication coverage, and insufficient logistics, such as motorbikes for health workers. He appealed to government agencies, NGOs, and individuals to support the directorate with logistics to improve service delivery.
Community members of Sui-Aboi expressed joy and appreciation to the assembly for addressing their long-standing health challenges.
They revealed that the community currently operates a CHPS compound in a two-room structure provided by the chief, which has only two beds and lacks adequate space for proper healthcare delivery. They added that expectant mothers and other patients often receive care in the same room due to limited facilities.
Residents believe that the new CHPS compound will bring significant improvements in healthcare access and called on the contractor to speed up the work to ensure the early completion of the project.
